    Tues 8/18
    Tracking: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: 35min upper body and cardio video
    Water: 90oz

    @brandi_84 that's a great goal. I haven't been doing as well with my fruits and veggies as I had been. Grocery shopping today so hopefully I can get better at it.

    My big girls had their first day back to school (virtual learning) today. It was rough! I managed to squeeze in my workout but I didn't have a chance to sit down and eat lunch until almost 2. Not sure if my workouts will fit in everyday. They are supposed to do 30 minutes of PE everyday so I might try and combine my workout with theirs 😂

    Aug Goals
    *72oz of water each day 👍👍👍
    *Fruit or Veggie with each meal 👎👎👎
    *Exercise 6 days 👎👍👍
    *Post everyday in thread 👍👍👍

    @thedestar I think that doing your workout with your girls is a great idea! I'm sorry I forget their ages, but there's so much you can do! You can go out side and kick a ball around, play catch or frisbee (I'm horrible at that LOL), go for hikes or bike rides, do lunges / high knees / bear crawls up and down the driveway. You can go old school with hopscotch or double-dutch jump rope. And I'm SURE there's Youtube videos out there to do with your kids. When my daughter was little I had a video called Working Out with Mommy and Me (she's 32 now :o ) I'll bet they'll enjoy playing with Mom. <3

    Richmond MUAC for 8/19/20:
    Tracked: yes
    Under: no (+161 calories)
    Exercised: yes - yard work 1 hour

    Protein 19%, Fats 29%, Carbs 52%
    40 carb or less dinner: no

    I've been over calories for five days, which is a bummer. I have tracked & exercised every day, though, so at least there I am on the right track.

    @richmondwriter You are definitely on the right track, awareness is key. I don't recall how much over you were on other days by 161 calories is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Maybe check your 7 day average and see where you stand?

    I caved(damn shark week) for a muffin(double chocolate deliciousness) at work, and stayed on track until dinner where I got a lettuce wrapped bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys, but I fell victim to the "little" fries.

    @cmhubbard92
    That all sounds delicious, though. The little fries are definatly not little. That's ok to treat yourself sometimes. It is also good to remember how the foods made you feel.
    I'm not giving up carbs completely, but I finally had to give up the French bread I was using for sandwiches because I felt like that was what was making my me feel blah after I ate.

    @murdog3t I hope that you will be able to rest your back and that it will feel better. I also hope everything in your area gets better, too.
    Take care of yourself.
